Simon's first haircut and Oliver turns two months

Simon's hair was getting pretty long and sometimes looked a bit crazy so we decided it was time for his first haircut. Here's his before picture. As a side note, he's standing up against our front door which I just painted "appletini".


Here's the door with our tree in bloom.

Okay, now on to the haircut. Adolfo went first and we told Simon what was happening and he and I hung out waiting and he kept asking me about the scissors and I kept assuring him that they wouldn't hurt. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but he warmed up quickly.


He liked looking around the salon and watching the other people getting their hair cut.

I didn't get a very good after picture, but you can kind of tell what it looks like here. His hair actually got curlier after the cut because it's not as long it curls up more.

Here's Simon doing his impersonation of a European tourist. This is what happens when we let him pick his own outfits.

Oliver loves to lay on this play mat. Simon jumped in there with him one day and said "two kids".

Since Oliver is two months old now I thought I would catch you up on what he's been doing. He loves taking a bath and spends the entire time looking at himself or me in the mirror. He also splashes a lot and gets water all over the counter and floor.

Ollie has reflux so he takes Zantac and sleeps in his car seat. We used to try putting him down in his crib but he got so bad that he was only sleeping 20 minutes at a time. Now that he's sleeping in his car seat he sleeps 5-8 hour stretches at night.

Mimi came to visit and did a lot of hanging out with Oliver so that I could have a break and do some non baby stuff.

Oliver loves to lay on the floor, in fact it's his favorite thing to do when he's awake. He doesn't like to be held much, he'd rather be on the floor kicking his legs and waving his arms.

He's a very happy baby in general and much easier than Simon was at this point. Let's hope it stays that way.
